They met in 1948 at the award dinner for Narcejac, to which Boileau - as a prior winner - had also been invited.

The wildly imperfect women of slick braids, shiny skin and succulent lips, building new homes from clouds for future legions. This is for the nuns, the singers, the clowns, the diviners and the conjurers who reject the constant attempt to clean up history.

Many historians have been fascinated with Friedan's life and her, often uncomfortable, involvement in the rebirth of feminist activism in the 1970s.

At the same time, a distinct group of white, educated, middle-class women were overcome with a sense of gratitude. On the one hand, American men were upset at Friedan's suggestion that their housewives could possibly want anything more than to see their children off safely to school, to take care of their husbands after a long day at work, and to keep their houses spotless. When Betty Friedan's The Feminine Mystique was released in 1963, it split the allegedly tranquil lives of the "greatest generation" in two. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Myles possesses, in abundance, two qualities of the highest value for a writer, irreverence and relentless curiosity, and here both are on full display. A mind as searching and honest as Myles’s would not be content to explore the commonplace joys and rewards of dog ownership without also looking at the dark side. Her grief at losing Rosie is profound it is also a revelation. Going back over the painful, at times gruesome, details of Rosie’s decline, Myles is unflinching but also irrepressibly humorous. A book that’s wise to miscommunication but hungry to overcome it, Afterglow celebrates that rare authorial ability to get out of one’s own way and show us a singular and limber mind roaming free. ![]() Afterglow becomes an ever-deepening investigation into the nature of human-being-ness, self-knowledge, and knowing things outside of yourself. Throughout the book, Myles accentuates and diminishes the distance between the multiplying voices and styles. ![]() For Myles, it’s a dog that becomes the surrogate, or perhaps the midwife, for a sort of vicarious enlightenment. Some writers portray the experience of raising a child as an opportunity to live a second childhood, at least vicariously. Of all the human foibles examined in the book, it is our inability to live in a moment-for the moment-that is most profoundly explored. Afterglow portrays a complex and often hilarious relationship between two animals, characterized by love and a deep interrogation of power, creativity, and point of view. ![]() ![]() ![]() They can’t be printed out of thin air like fiat money and their value is largely unaffected by economic events around the world.

In these stanzas, the speaker argues that the idea that God, his Priest, and the King, make people free as well as happy is an illusion. The second poem, on the other hand, shows a completely opposite perspective, “They think they have done me no injury, / And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King, / Who make up a heaven of our misery” (10-12). These lines show the argument that people are truly happy and free only when they die because God is the one who can free them. In the first poem, the following stanza describes the speaker’s praise of religion, “and he opened the coffins & set them all free / Then down a green plain, leaping, laughing they run”(15). The first difference between the two “Chimney Sweeper” poems is that in the first poem, the speaker praises God and religious beliefs, thinking that they bring happiness, meanwhile in the second poem, he denies religion and any authority that supports it.
